Yes getting confused myself 😊

To avoid confusion, here is my one again and the 1/2 from Marsh plate 142A on p19 kindly posted by shortstcks68

My coin is a full sov, and I must say it looks realy close, but if the sixpence die was only ever used on 1/2 Sovs then that can’t be the error can it?

Or did they also mistakenly use a sixpence die for full Sovs as well?

wasent the sixpence die only used on 1/2  Sovs, where’s this is a full Sov?

Both sides

Could this be it? An overstrike from a sixpence die. 

Its hard to tell I would ideally need to see a clearer image of a sixpence overstrikes to compare it properly.

My main concern  is, will detract from the value of the coin, i.e.. is it just worth its billion weight etc.

Here’s an odd one.

This has been looked at by a few of our excellent members via PM’s but so far no concensus on what is happening here with the last 8 as clearly it can’t be an 8 due to 1838 being first yr if Victoria etc.

To me it looks like it could possibly be an overstrike 6 over an 8, which would put it as a correct age 1836

Just look at it go 😳

Up an up like Willi Wonka’s elevator, where will it stop, nobody knows.

Oh so close, but no cigar....

Looks like its going to be in the new year now.

So close now, £996.23 @ 15.23 GMT

No truer words said in jest Ha Ha. 😀 

But I still think it will hit 1k on Thursday😎 

My money is on to going over 1k on Thursday at +/- 16.00 when she arriveds Brussels to humiliate herself again.

Its a nice coin, but strange, most of the details seem really good apart from the hair detail above Victorias ear which is near flat, i wouldn't personally grade it, but its your choice

I've just had a closer look at it with a loop and my picture is a bit misleading with the reflections above the ear, but I think your right I will give grading a miss on this one.
